Copper pot

7"x5" acrylic on masonite

Boy. I didn't think this would be as challenging as it was. I spent more time than I would have liked on this one, but I enjoyed myself. I found this copper pot at a garage sale this spring and I have been wanting to paint it ever since. I didn't really know what to compose it with so I just grabbed whatever I could find, and got right to it.

I was a bit concerned that the placement of the egg was too close to the center. I decided to forget about it and keep painting. After putting in the colors, it didn't bother me as much. What do you think?

Overall, I am very happy with this one.

  1. Hi Brad,
    I enjoy the egg where it is. I think you're right: the other parts all make it work. Copper is interesting, eh? I haven't painted it much but it's fascinating when you sit down and actually look at the colours you're seeing. And killer drapery!
